Chiffonade (pronounced chef-fon-nahd), a culinary term for finely slicing leafy herbs or vegetables, is easy to master and makes a simple garnish of basil look even more elegant. Here's how to do it: Stack clean, de-stemmed leaves of basil (or any other leafy green) in piles of three to six leaves and tightly roll them lengthwise into a cigar-like shape. Use a sharp knife to make thin slices across the rolled leaves. Shake the slices gently to unfurl the whisper-thin tendrils and then use as your recipe directs. (..less)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=tM7qFj9tQkU I had some brocolli sitting in the fridge that would go bad if I didn't eat them. What better use of the brocolli than trying in a vegetable pakora, a recipe from Youtube user ManjulasKitchen. Manjula's recipe call for a combination of Graham flour and rice flour but I was too lazy to go the store and used what I had on hand, whole wheat flour and, if I may say so myself, it turned out great. The flour batter locks in the juices and when one of these appetizers is bitten into it unleashes a burst of tenderness. The green chiles in the recipe is rather mild and enlivens the dish. I imagine these would be great with any Indian dip like a chutney or tamarind sauce; for expediency I dipped mine in a dallop of yogurt and a dash of mustard. This is a great way to get a child or even an adult to eat vegetables. Be sure to cook it in a natural vegetable oil, like canola oil, which is actually good for the heart. (..less)

Broccoli Salad recipes are delicious and can be nutritious. A real "super food" broccoli is chock full of nutrition, antioxidants and flavor. This recipe is also an easy way to get more vegetables in your diet. I've got to admit, the dressing isn't too healthy - but it is delicious. Try no-fat mayo, light cheese and leave out the bacon for a more healthy option. You can make this salad with raw broccoli or blanch it a bit to hold the color and soften the florets. If you don't like raw broccoli blanch the broccoli for 1 minute or so. But be careful to not leave the broccoli in the water too long. This recipe pairs broccoli, bacon and a dressing to make a sweet and sour salad that's a great side dish or meal all on its own. (..less)

MESSAGE FROM THE AUTHOR, HELEN TSE As you are watching my video, I know you are travelling on your journey to wherever you are going. We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere. My name is Helen Tse, the author of the internationally selling book Sweet Mandarin. Through this video, I want to share with you snippets of my journey during this worldwide book tour in the UK, Hong Kong, China, Cayman Islands, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines and the USA. This song is dedicated to all my family (especially my grandma Lily Kwok), my dear friends and loved ones. Many people will walk in and out of our life, but only true friends will leave footprints in one's heart. Thank you for raising me up so I can walk on mountains. You can see snapshots of the book in the video and the Chinese proverb on the front cover says " A Journey of a Thousand Miles Starts With One Step". Every day for me is a step, a new beginning, a new adventure. Much love Helenx SWEET MANDARIN: THE STORY BEGINS Spanning almost a hundred years, this rich and evocative true story of Sweet Mandarin recounts the lives (..less)
